The course consists of theoretical lectures (2 ECTS, 18 hours) and other activities, including theoretical-practical activities, carried out by students (individually or in small groups), seminars and guided visits at local and national food factories (1 ECTS, 9 hours, in all). An e-learning course is available in parallel with the lectures; this includes the educational material organized in learning units; guidelines and reports on the theoretical-practical activities; self-evaluation tests; interactive forum and other tools; details on guided visits.
* Students who have attended the online course "Edible insects: the more you know, the better they taste" by Eduopen (https://learn.eduopen.org/eduopen/course_details.php?courseid=169) and have been awarded the Certificate of Attendance, will be assigned 1 CFU for the course "Insect products".
